threat of breach of promise the breach of promise papers are not in sheilas fafe but cavanaugh and peter llnd a note signed david orrac peter finds orme at a tcurlst camp cavanaugh agrees to examine orme peter sees barbara destroy a jewelled omb of sheilas chapter xxxv contd with a deep tremulous sigh peter moved away from the tree and walked slowly up the driveway where bar bara had run i few minutes jr was it hours before barbara needed saving far more than he had dream ed he was admitted fleetingly the idea that she herself was responsible for sheilas death but he knew naw that he had never believed it it hud taken the flash of emeralds in the son to bring that idea into the light where he must face it face it with all its implications his mouth set in a hard grim line ho knew exactly what he was doinj there was no ignorance of the law to blind him he knew that he was go ing to suppress his knowledge of ma terial evidence of a crime if bar bara was guilty no wrangling law yers no avid press no stolid iury should tear that bright and gallant spirit to shreds if she was a murderess she was still barbara ho forced himself to say the word with dry stiff lips murderess and he heard as clear ly as if he sat in the courtroom as he had heard it many times from his seat in the press rcw the voice of the judge solemnly intone and may god have mercy on your soul never that never that for barbara he fought his way back to self- control his nails forcing tiny red drop of blood from the palms of his clenched hands if barbara was guil ty he would share her guilt he squared his shoulders as if against the wind he was accessory after the fact of murder this time there was no hesitation on the doorstep before he rang the bell peters training stood him in good stead the blackandwhite auto maton who answered the door saw only a tall and rather pale young man whose clothes were badly in need of brushing several twigs and bits of leaf were clinging to them but who showed no evidence of excitement she looked up at him with a tentative half smile of recognition but he had evidently forgotten her he fished a herald card from his pocket and scribbled a message on the back please let me see you at once it 5s most important he paused a mo ment and then added i am count ing on you we are friends remem ber he looked up as if he had just be come aware of the figure in the open door oh its you i hope you found the two b- though you didnt deserve them that time will you take this to miss cavanaugh and tell her ill wait in the room with the marigolds there arent any marigolds the seasons past sir the automaton ex plained meticulously never mind we know what we mean you just cut along the automaton obediently cut wondering as she mounted the stairs how miss barbara had ever discover ed such a very nice young man who obviously did not belong in her own social circle ho cant havo my money his clothes are a sight but he docs have a way with him and miss barbara can afford to like whoever she pleases she reflected enviously peter stood anxiously waiting in the small room where daffodils had re placed the marigolds but where a little firo still twinkled in the grate ho wished ho had warned her to take off that duststreaked dress before she camo down she might meet any number of servants and theyd be sure to notico it and wonder he wished ho had told her to destroy his card but then the girl might already hac read it on her way up he had thought only of barbara whilo he was writing it he strovo now to remem ber tho wording it was noncommit tal enough still it was better out of tho way his brain felt paralyzed with the sense of his own incompetence there were so many things to think of so many things that ho had never had to consider before peter found himself wishing that ho had committed rny number of crimes so that ho would lavo been practiced in technique would know exactly what ought to he done suppose ho made some horrible blonder suppose he could not save her suppose you wanted to see met she was there slim and straight and childlike between the folds of the curtains before entering the room she turned and slid the folding doors shut she was immaculately dressed in a straight little blue frock and me held peters card twisted in a lobe about her slim fingers- thank god peter cried barbara summoned a wan little smile you always do have the most astonishing ways of opening a con versation she said i was afraid you wouldnt change your dress peter explained and may i have chat please he took the card gently from her fingers and dropped it on the glowing coals she looked up at him faintly sur prised as one who has just passed through an earthquake might be sur prised at the unexpected falling of a leaf unresisting sho allowed him to lead her to a chair and place her in it peter towered over her his elbow on the mantel barbara he said god know3 whether ive the wit to be of much good to you but i think the first step had better be for you to marry me chapter xxxvi oh peter barbara cried her voice was the thin small voice of a terrified child at the touch of a re assuring hand in the dark if i only could she leaned forward her hands clasped tightly between her knees her pinched white face irradiated with a flood of rosy color her eyes seeking peters were wells of glory peter forgot that sheila oshay had been murdered forgot that she had ever existed his world was narrow ed to one consuming blaze of divine astonishment but barbara you cant mean ho stammered of course barbara nodded her head twice with slow emphasis i mean just that i should think youd have seen it from the beginning peter still with that look of awed wonder leaned down to kiss the bright bowed head but before he reached her he forced himself back holding to the mantel piece as if he feared to trust his own unaided will but listen you amazing child you cant mean it he said you dont know a thing about me really im just a hardboiled newspaper report er it was a fixed delusion with peter that he was hardboiled i earn 50 a week and the only car i own or am ever likely to own is one youd be ashamed even to collide with i never thought of it before but for all you know i might be nothing but a fortune hunter i know quite enough a shadow of tho old gamin smile hovered at tho corners of barbaras mouth are you trying to persuade me to many you or trying to persuade me not to which if things wercni as they are id try to have too much sense to ask you but ive got to havethe right to help you to stand by to the last ditch of course ill do that anyhow but itll make things simpler thats why i want you to marry me oh no it isnt barbaras shirt ing gaze was still fixed on peters face its because you love me oh that peters scorn was the most sublime assurance that goes without saying who wouldnt still said barbara im glad you said it even though i knew i ought to be sorry but im not im glad glad that i shall have it to re member always because im not go ing to marry you peter dont be absurd peter said angrily please barbara get this straight even if you hadnt looked at me like that you glorious child i dont know how it ever happened but somehow it has id have wanted you to marry me anyhow then if we got things straightened out and you want ed your freedom you could have it nothing nothing at all could possib ly make any difference to me except as it gave me something to do for you thats the- way i feel about it now will you marry me dont barbara buried her face in her hands you make it so very hard then sho looked up her small chin very stubborn her eyes very seady i cant marry yon peter not ever why not peter glared down at her belligerently because barbara took a deep breath then went on steadily im going to tell you something i have never hinted to another soalj i told you how dr cavanaugh adopted me out of the orphanage i rather think that i am really his daughter it was so far from what peter had expected her to say that he could only stare at her in blank amazement but darling child he said whan ho had caught his breath can you think for one moment that that would j make any difference to met i iiality has no substitute resfrom we garcfens it would to me barbara said so low r at he had to bend toward her to catch the words but it mustnt i dont care a fg whether your parents had a marriage license or not as the lawyers say its incompetent immaterial and ir relevant dr cavanaugh is a very- great man you might well be proud to get zame of your heredity from a brain like that even if he did your mother and you a social injury by not marrying her hes done his best to make it up to you to be continued grasses still most vital living thing to mankind follow
